    Also burn is possibly a colloquialism for "use up"

    Use up the fuel, so they can abandon the vehicle without it being an obvious dereliction of duty

    Two high-ranking generals of the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation have been detained in Moscow. According to Hristo Grozev (Billingcat) they appropriated several billion rubles allocated for recruiting agents in Ukraine.

    How the hell, can people believe that it is the democratic western nations that are indulging in fake news ( a terminology that forever will keep the name of Trump alive) and lies and misinformation? Sometimes I really wish I could block politics totally out of my mind...politics and religion! two areas where people can twist, turn and alter the facts to reflect and protect their inner biases and beliefs.

    Exactly. Politics is a dirty business. And Ukrainian politicians are not much better than Russian ones. This also applies to American politicians.

    What DID go out in Russia is access to independent news from the BBC, and all access to Facebook and Twitter for Russian residents.

    It really is. Echo of Moscow Radio and Dozhd TV channel are closed. Only YouTube remains. I think need should start broadcasting in Russian again on short waves of AM.

     

    As for democracy, the people do not need it if their standard of living is below the poverty line.

  5. Today, the news went out in the Russian media that Ukraine was going to make a nuclear bomb, and the main institute in this project was the Kharkiv Institute of Physics and Technology. Now the list of Russia's priority targets in this operation is clear, Chernobyl, Kharkiv, Energodar and Yuzhnoukrainsk. And here is the meaning of the Russian troops' rush from Nikolaev to Voznesensk, as well as the fact that the Russian army is storming Kharkov.

  6. The Ukrainian army uses the tactics of Middle Eastern extremists, hiding behind the civilian population as a human shield.

    As RIA Novosti reports, retired Colonel Douglas McGregor, a former adviser to the head of the Pentagon, said this on Fox Business.

    According to him, this tactic is explained by the fact that the APU lacks mobility, there are no air defense systems and air cover.

    "They have to hide in settlements, mixing with the population. We could see similar things in the Middle East. When we defeated the Islamists there, they fled to the cities, used people, civilians, as human shields and tried to avoid destruction. This is exactly what is happening now in Ukraine, where the army is using the population to avoid defeat," McGregor stressed.

    We really need to move to the smaller,  modular generation of reactors.

    Or maybe it's better to take a closer look at the technology proposed by Russian physicist Igor Ostretsov. He suggests dividing heavy elements on proton accelerators up to 10 MEV. In addition, spent nuclear fuel ceases to be radioactive after processing on accelerators.

    Yeah. My initial reply there probably didn’t offer this situation the seriousness it deserves. The speed and solidarity of the sanctions seem to have surprised Putin and now he’s likely feeling backed into a corner. 

    No. He felt trapped earlier and therefore rushed in desperation.

    The day before yesterday, the Russian general staff warned in a couple of hours about a missile strike on a TV tower in Kiev. The Ukrainian authorities did not transmit this warning to their civilians. The Ukrainian authorities also do not inform the civilian population about humanitarian corridors from Mariupol, Kiev, Kharkiv. They explain this by saying that they do not want to humanize the image of the enemy. So what is more important for them, to save the lives of their civilians or not to allow the image of the aggressor to be humanized?

    According to the representative of the People's Militia of the LPR Ivan Filimonenko, the Ukrainian military mined warehouses with ammonia in the Kiev-controlled city of Severodonetsk, Luhansk region. This was announced by the official representative of the People's Militia of the LPR Ivan Filimonenko.

    If Zelensky had done a deal four weeks ago, none of this would be happening now. But surrounded by hawks, and egged on by NATO chiefs with their OWN agenda, that has nothing to do with the Ukrainian public, or their well being, he went the wrong way.

    If Zelensky had not concentrated a 120,000-strong strike force in the Donbas, this would not have happened. On February 15, Putin withdrew 10,000 soldiers from the borders of Ukraine, Zelensky did not withdraw a single one, if he had withdrawn at least 1,000 soldiers, he would have shown his desire for peace
    And today Zelinsky's psychological is broken

    I see from the map that Russia has now secured its land route (corridor) to the Crimea.

    Russia has not reached the Crimea here.

    And there remains the possibility of dragging Russia into a big war if Ukraine and Moldova organize a joint blockade of Tiraspol. Then Russia will have to capture at least the Odessa region either by landing from the sea, or through an offensive through Zaporozhye, Nikolaev, Heson.

    I believe the Russian forces stationed in Belarus, ominously north of Kiev, are there to merely intimidate Ukraine and NATO into not interfering while this annexation takes place.  They are the "backup" in case Ukraine or NATO tries to stop the seizure of this eastern territory; they're not there with the primary goal of invading the entire country.

    Moreover, it is impossible to advance from Belarus to Ukraine. There are impassable Polesie marshes between Ukraine and Belarus. This is the so-called Pripyat problem. Bonaparte and Hitler had to choose how to attack Moscow, north or south of the Pripyat marshes. In 1941, Army Group Center, which had broken out ahead, could not fear for its right flank. since it was covered by swamps.
